MetLife had a little extra juice and 83,258 voices to prove it, but the Niners packed the bigger punch. San Francisco muscled past New York 34–24, riding a ground game that kept chewing clock and a point guard version of Mac Jones (19/24, 235 yards, 2 TD, 0 INT) steering the ship. That’s 58 total points if you’re scoring at home — the over said thank you kindly.
The Giants flashed first with a dart from Jaxson Dart to Theo Johnson, but San Francisco’s answer was vintage CMC: swing pass to the pylon, then a whole lot of patient pounding. Jones came out dealing — the man opened by hitting his first 14 throws — and found Jauan Jennings for the go-ahead strike. Eddy Piñeiro dropped a 54-yard bomb before halftime, the Giants doinked a 45-yarder wide, and the tone was set. (espn.com)
Second half, the Niners leaned on legs and leverage. Brian Robinson Jr. (5 carries, 53 yards, TD) knifed in from 18 to stretch it, the Giants briefly breathed on a Dart keeper, and then the closer showed up: a 39-yard catch-and-run by Christian McCaffrey to flip the field, followed by his hammer at the goal line. San Francisco’s front added timely heat — sacks from Clelin Ferrell and Sam Okuayinonu — while New York’s defense surrendered 30-plus for the third straight week despite late window dressing to Gunner Olszewski.

Box it up like this: McCaffrey was everywhere — 28 for 106 rushing, 5 for 67 receiving, 2 TD — and, yep, he’s stacking history along the way, crossing the 500/500 mark through nine and adding yet another game with both a rushing and receiving score, per the national folks. Jones was efficient and cool, Jennings made the money grab, and the Niners finished with 394 yards to the Giants’ 308, owning the edges and the moments. Meanwhile, ESPN’s postgame chatter echoed what we saw: New York’s banged-up secondary and edge group couldn’t set an edge or stem the bleeding. (africa.espn.com)
Big Dill of the Game: Christian McCaffrey — 173 scrimmage yards and the dagger sequence in the fourth made MetLife sound like Levi’s East. That’s today’s pickle, folks. I’m Dillon “Big Dill” Smith, and this is Big Dill Sports — where ballin’ is a big dill.
